Proof! Finally proof that little ones are possessed by chaos entities!
Annnnd some adults too...
This reminds me of the shirt that I should wear constantly saying, "Sorry for what I said when I was hungry!"

An imaginative take on impulse control. Conversely, it could also be a look at imaginary friends or distraction.

I saw the back cover first & totally thought it was the little girl with the unicorn that is so fluffy. The illustrations are cute. I like the premise of the book, but I do not think I understand what a Snurtch is- like is it imagination?

Another favorite by Sean Ferrell. I loved "I Don't Like Koala," too.

What a great way to showcase the little monsters that live within us all. The art in this is stupendous!!

I have a Snurtch. We all have Snurtches, but some of us have bigger ones than others. This is a wonderful tale that will help children who may have ADHD or other behavioral issues see that they are not alone with their problems, that they're not inferior, and maybe even help them learn to cope with them. This is not an instructional book, however, and that's to it's benefit--every child will enjoy following along with this fun and silly story and be entertained as well as learn from it-- what more could you want from a great picture book? Highly recommend.

I had mixed feelings about this book. I liked the message that sometimes it is hard to be good. I didn't like that everyone had an inner monster and putting the blame of bad behavior on the monster.

I can't decide how I feel about this one -- I like the idea that everyone has bad days, and it can sometimes seem like when we are jerks, it's something outside ourselves that overwhelms us. However, I don't really think that it makes sense to teach kids that there is an outside force, and that it's not all that controllable, because ultimately they have to figure out how to deal with the snurtch, and "it's not me" isn't going to get them very far.
